Another Design Firm goes 3D as Studio MGI Begins Offering 3D Scanning and 3D Printing Services

We’re not just rapid prototyping objects anymore, we are now rapid prototyping our environments. Being able to visualize ideas, rooms and now entire buildings relatively quickly is changing the way that we design the products and spaces that fill our world.

Studio MGI is a visual design consultancy company that helps businesses pre-visualize their products, designs and construction plans using some of the best technology available. Not only does this include 3D rendering and animations but now they have announced that it includes both 3D scanning and 3D printing services.

3d print Studio MGI Scale architectural models are a standard tool for pre-visualizing a new room or building design, however they can be expensive, time consuming to create and will often look very different from the end result. With 3D printing you can take precise CAD drawings and print out rooms and buildings to exacting scale to better visualize how a finished building will look as well as make any final aesthetic or necessary design changes. Not only does this save time and money, but it can lead to a better designed room or building. You can even print out partial schematics so you can visualize how things like plumbing or electrical lines should be laid. This will allow contractors and designers to correct any design flaws before construction even starts, allow tradesmen to visualize the installation process and allow clients to understand why design choices were made and why they cost what they do.

And if you’re not building from scratch, a large 3D scanner can scan a room with greater accuracy within seconds, completely eliminating the time and margin of error involved in doing it manually. This allows CAD designers to completely pre-render a remodel or installation before any work starts. Once again, time and money can be saved, by allowing the client or designer to relatively inexpensively try out different design options before any final decisions are made and serious money is invested.

Rapid prototyping isn’t as neat or as exciting as some of the other things that 3D printing can do, however it is having the largest direct impact on our lives. It’s resulting in better designed products by allowing the cost of development to shrink and by giving designers more opportunities to tweak and adjust their designs without having to wait months or pay exorbitant costs for new machined prototypes. While 3D printing is starting to catch on in plenty of other areas, it is rapid prototyping that continues to be the backbone of the 3D printing industry and as we can see, some of the worlds brightest companies are finding increasingly inventive uses for it.
